.@CNN fact check this 🧵on CEFC - the Chinese Communist Party foreign influence op that ensnared multiple top-level government officials including the Biden family but was hidden.

This 🧵 and CCP influence at the highest levels of US politics must be addressed in the debate

The Bidens were caught in a CCP influence operation masquerading as the energy company CEFC. CEFC sought to recruit, work with, or meet:
- A former CIA director
- A former FBI director
- A former NSA director and dep. CIA director
- Head counterintelligence in FBI NY office.

The former CIA director is Clinton-era director Robert James Woolsey Jr.

Based on DOJ's indictment of CEFC affiliate Gal Luft, Luft, Patrick Ho (Hunter's "spy chief of China") and Chairman Ye, the head of CEFC, (now missing) sought "covertly recruit and pay" Woolsey (Individual-1) to "advance the interests of China in the US"

The former FBI director is Louis Freeh. FBI interview transcript of Hunter's business partner Rob Walker indicate that Freeh's group was involved with CEFC "maybe in that specific transaction".

Despite acknowledging that CEFC was in the business of "collecting people" the interviewing agent asked no follow-up questions.

The former NSA director/CIA deputy director is Bobby Ray Inman. Inman stands out for having been one of the few to rebuff and report foreign offers. He claims to have rebuffed approaches from CEFC starting in 2013 and reported the incidents 👇

The former head of counterintel at the FBI New York Field office is Charles McGonigal. In Jan 2023 McGonigal was charged with holding undisclosed meetings with foreign nationals including a CEFC affiliate (Dorian Ducka)

Meetings took place in 2017, while McGonigal would have been overseeing the investigation of Patrick Ho (another CEFC affiliate who Hunter worked with and called the "spy chief of China"). See this report multiple irregularities in the Ho case: oversight.heritage.org/OP_The%20Inves…

Dorian Ducka also worked with Hunter Biden and his partners to try to sell Westinghouse Electric to CEFC in a move that they acknowledged would have given "China monopoly advantage [of nuclear power generation technology] (with the exception of Russia)"

Millions of dollars of payments and gifts from CEFC to the Biden family have been documented by Congress and backed up whistleblowers.

The head of CEFC is/was a former deputy secretary of a PLA military organization responsible for intel collection and propaganda

The New Cold War between America and the Chinese Communist Party is largely fought via economic and political influence.

If America is going to prevail, it needs media that is honest enough to tell citizens and voters what the score is.
